Je sais pas

[Lymon]

The power and beauty of this song is absolutly amazing. Celine sings it from the bottom of her heart, and you can hear it in her voice. The lyrics are just incredibly beautiful, I can't describe it. Even before I knew what Je sais pas ment, I still felt the emotion in Celine's voice, and how she delivered it. Although I love both of her careers to no end, there's no doubt that Celine conveys more emotion in her native tongue. The instruments in this song are amazing, and the entire song has this very haunting quality to it. I don't know(no pun intended ) how to describe it, really, the song is just incredibly powerful. Certainly one of the best of her French career, and i'm very happy she decided to include it on the French setlist for the Taking Chances Tour.

I agree... What a great song! And her performances of Je Sais Pas in Montreal have been amazing!

[takeachance]

This song is so beautiful. Even though i do not understand a word of it (even the title) , I still love it and think it is incredible

[Celineboy]

I just love the live version of je sais pas.

[Black Kitten]

the live version of her french songs are always better than the studio version imho. not really a fan of Je Sais Pas (sorry, i will pick I Don't Know over this one).

[Davey84]

I always loved JSP, but when I noticed it was part of the tour I was like mweh! but then the adlips came and I was like it really adds a new dimention to the song and when I listened to LAP the other day I missed them! haha

 

btw Céline said for years that this song describs her the best

[Macaronie]

Her worst french song to date

Zure haring?

[Davey84]

de enige echte Scheveningse!!! :P

 

 

btw I luuurve the JSP video! and how embarraced Céline was when JJ said; wtf is that? why are you touching yourself?

[grobandion]

I like JSP, it's just that I prefer "I don't know". I find it more "enjoyable", even though both are great.

It was my first time hearing/seeing JSP in Montreal and I was BLOWN away!! so gorgeous Its one of my favorites of hers now.

 

Hey Davey, how do you know JJG made fun of her? I wanna see!!

oh boy I can't remember correctly, but I think it was the d'eux special or something! it also could have been said in interviews after d'eux, but before LTAL! sorry!

"I don't know" together with je sais pas are probably my most favorite Celine songs...

[kathyc25]

oh that`s ok

[Prince Whiskers]

My fave parts are where she unleashes great raspy vocals.

[changepas39]

I love je sais pas! very haunting.

[JP]

In 1999's concert, i was a little bit bored by this song! But she sing it soooo perfectly on TCWT that it become one of my favorite song in the whole concert!! The high-notes improvisation are so gorgeous!!

I had the exact same thought. I remember watching the Call The Man version of this video and at one point I almost fell off my chair... It looked like Celine was having too much fun watching old videos of her and her boyfriend

 

On closer inspection though, you can see that both arms clearly stretch over the sofa but the first impression is a lasting one...!

 

As for Je sais pas... I love it! I was always quite indifferent to it when I first bought D'EUX but now it is probably among my favourite songs. Her live performances were always stunning but now, with the Taking Chances tour, she has breathed new life into this gem! I love it!

[Terre]

JSP is one of my very favourite songs! There are no words to describe how much I love the song. I haven't always been a great fan of JSP, though. I can't believe I didn't like it that much when I heard it for the first time.

[firebird]

Love this song. It's one of her best songs ever. It goes straight to the heart. The live performance in Gand 1996 used to be my favorite (which was easy, the other live performances were all rather same-ish and unspectacular), but the new version from this tour is great. I really like

,

(this one's great, no freak gestures, look at it, it's all so theatrical, and she's in total control of her voice, too bad it's just a clip) and Montreal (that JP posted in the tour forum)
